Holding on
Hi everyone. Here is a quick update on the last few days:
She has several things wrong (can't remember names of all of them) but they affect her blood and now brain. They took her off the vent on Wed. and she was doing great. On Thursday however she tired again and had to go back on the vent. She never really came off her sedation and became coherent, this is concerning to the team. In the meantime she tested positive for CMV, a virus common among transplant patients. She also tested positive for some blood condition (big science name, sorry). Basically the platelets are breaking up and odd shaped. She has also been running a low fever again.
So they did CT scans last night of her head, chest, and abdomen. Lungs look good (even improved some), liver looked good and counts on it have stabilized. Still many unresolved issues.
So, bottom line: Pam is very, very sick. We should all brace ourselves for the worst, and hope for the best. She is a fighter and her blood pressure continues to be strong, they are trying to treat things as they come up but she is a very complicated case. Cross every finger and toe, pray, rub beads, do whatever your lucky/healing/faith actions are. The Dr.'s are doing everything they can here and so is Pam.
Hoping for improvement.
Troy
